It's hard to remember a time before we had cellphones, isn't it? Even your grandmother probably has one! And we all love our cellphones, me included. What I don't love are all the ways the cellphone has snuck into society and turned normal people into self-absorbed jerks.

Sure, a good smartphone is an invaluable resources. You can check the sports score or do a quick Google search for the local polling place for the election from anywhere! But the cellphone is one gadget that has rendered a good portion of our country incapable of functioning without it.

Is this you? Are you that jerk with the cellphone? You might be surprised what people really think of how you use your beloved phone.

Seems like you're lacking in the "ha-ha" department today, so I've taken the liberty of fixing that -- with some side-splittingly hilarious autocorrect fails.

It's happened to the best of us iPhone-loving folk. It's always funny (particularly when it's not us). And you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not checking these out. Enjoy, friends, enjoy.

Here are 6 unbelievably hilarious iPhone autocorrect fails that will no-doubt make your day.

Sometimes, texting gets a bad rap. It's impersonal. Messages can be misconstrued. And it's fostering humankind's inability to actually talk to people -- like, with their voice. And I agree -- in that sense, texting does suck. All those things are totally true. But, on the flip side, texting is a god-send. Especially if you're a mother.

No, a god send.

Phone calls are great, and even better is actual face-to-face contact, but for everyday communication, texting is where it's at for moms. Here are five reasons you should text moms before calling them.

I don't think it's just me when I say that there are so many ways to screw up a relationship now. It used to be fairly big things like standing someone up, cheating, being a big-time loser. Now I hear of people breaking up over of some of the most bizarre things like, "He followed his ex-girlfriend on Twitter but he still wasn't following me." I mean, maybe that isn't so bizarre. Maybe that's just the world we live in now. Technology is infused with so much meaning. And there are so many ways to misread things! Or to read them correctly. Who the hell knows. At least there's a site that will interpret text messages for us.

But I do know that you can screw up your relationship big time by being careless about technology. Here are 11 things you want to avoid if you hope to keep your relationship going.

Texting and dating. If two things should never, ever go together, it is them. What does he mean by this? Why hasn't she texted back? I know she has her phone on her! Ohmahgah, should I have not written "LOL"? What if he's a "haha" guy?!

Yeah, no thanks. I'm old fashioned in the sense that I think the best way to communicate with someone when you're dating is your voice. The nearly obsolete phone call. There's too much room for interpretation with texting. And when you first get together with someone, do you really need more of that?

But for those of you seriously averse to making plans via chatting (actual chatting, not G-chatting), and you need to stick to your trusty texting, there's a new service for you -- a service which decodes your date's texts.

Uh-oh! Looks like there's trouble in Twilight paradise AGAIN! The latest dip on the Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson Rumor Roller Coaster: Apparently, Kristen has been goin' behind Rob's back and texting up a storm with none other than Rupert Sanders. Ahhhh! Crazy, right? Just when you thought these two were ready to reunite for the Breaking Dawn--Part 2 premiere and then call it happily ever after, she has to go and CHEAT again!

But wait, hmm. Maybe it's not exaaaaactly cheating?

My boys have lots of age-appropriate tech devices, can set the DVR by themselves, and know about the latest viral YouTube videos before I do. But sometimes I worry I am ruining them with technology. What are all these "convenience tools" doing to their "sponge-like" kid brains? Squelching their innate talents? Robbing them of the glory that comes from good old-fashioned benign neglect and boredom?

When I think back to my childhood, spent pretending my bike was a horse and making eraser people, I do think my kids are getting a little screwed. We had no technology (unless you count Lite Brite); we had to learn to make do. We were boredom survivors. Some of our best days revolved around playing House (the only one left standing in a nuclear war) and making great duct tape things, which we then sold to strangers from mom's card table. It was a wonderful time. Life's answers weren't a Google search away, and we, no doubt, came out brighter (briter?) because of it. Didn't we?

Is high-tech gadgetry diminishing the ability of adults to give proper supervision to very young children? According to this Wall Street Journal article, the answer is "probably, so for Christ's sake put your phone down, you neglectful monster."

Okay, so that's not exactly what it says. The theory is this: the near-ubiquity of hand-held electronic devices are one possible reason why injury rates for young kids have been on the rise lately -- as in, a 12 percent increase between 2007 and 2010. As a pediatrician who's part of the American Academy of Pediatrics working group for injury, violence, and poison prevention puts it, "The injuries were going down and down and down. (The recent uptick) is pretty striking."

The article raises some truly disturbing connections between "device distraction" and childhood injuries or even deaths -- but does this mean I'm going to ban my cellphone from the playground? Yeah, probably not.
